1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Do ye not know that they running in a race-course, all truly run, and one receives the prize of combat? Do ye so run, that ye might receive.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ Do ye not know that they running in a race-course, all truly run, and one receives the prize of combat? Do ye so run, that ye might receive. ²⁵ And every one contending for the prize, has self command in all things. These surely therefore that they might receive a corruptible crown; and we an incorruptible. ²⁶ I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so practise I pugilism, as not laying stripes upon air: ²⁷ But I give my body a blow under the eyes, and reduce to bondage: lest having proclaimed to others, I myself be rejected.
